Wild Turkey Facts and fictions
This is America. It’s not what you think, but what you do. So here is what I think. I’m not doing it though. The entire damage to my house from Hurricane Sandy consisted of a broken steel hinge on a large picket gate. It’s a thick hinge. It must have been an amazing wind that ripped it apart. It’s probably worth $8.59. The gate dangled. FEMA has an office in town. I know they still feel guilty about Katrina. Here’s my fantasy. I will call and a whole team of them in trailers will arrive at my home. They will take pictures, fill out forms, make repairs, pay punitive damages and provide care givers to relieve emotional distress for the rest of my life. I’ll be set for life! No? -- DR

East Hampton resident Ralph Lauren donated $2 million to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. The money will be shared by the Robin Hood Relief Fund, the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and Ralph Lauren the American Red Cross. Said Lauren in a statement, “I’m a born and bred New Yorker. We want to support the selfless work of so many agencies, professionals and volunteers and hope that these donations will make it easier for our cities to rebuild and recover.” Sir Paul McCartney will join Billy Joel, The Who, Alicia Keys, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Kanye West at a Superstorm Sandy benefit concert next month at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Dec. 12 all-star show, dubbed “12-1212,’’ will benefit those affected by Sandy in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Proceeds from the concert will go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund, which will distribute the funds to those in critical need. More performers are to be announced in the coming days.

EAST END REAL ESTATE NETWORKING EVENT
Smash An SUV crashed directly into the side of the Sag Harbor Post Office last week, destroying part of the brick building. The woman who crashed the car reportedly suffered a medical condition while driving. Didn’t Steal Gas, But Almost Did An 18-year-old in East Hampton was arrested for stealing a gas can and a hose from his neighbor’s house. Police caught the man after he was spotted by a witness walking toward a car with the hose and gas can. He didn’t actually steal any gas, so he was arrested for stealing the tools to steal gas. There is also the possibility that he was just going to… well, you know, I really can’t think of any other reason why you’d need a gas can and a hose at such a moment. Old Man McGumbus In an effort to protect the borders of Shelter Island, Old Man McGumbus, 103 years old and former World War II bazooka man, was arrested last week for illegally impersonating an officer of the law after he flagged down cars to inspect them near the Shelter Island Ferry. He let most motorists through, but things got out of hand when he told one man, 34-year-old Art Beatles from Brooklyn, to turn around and head back home. When Beatles refused, McGumbus told him to step out of the car. Beatles again refused and began to take off down the road. McGumbus responded by firing a bazooka rocket at his Fiat 500. The shot exploded underneath the vehicle, sending it flying 200 feet into the air and crashing on top of the Shelter Island Mattress Center. The car then bounced off of a queensized mattress and into the harbor. McGumbus was arrested when Beatles escaped the vehicle, swam to shore and reported the incident to police from his cellphone.

Not a Cop During a road-rage incident, a man flashed his lights behind another driver in Southold, got him to pull over and then flashed his PBA badge, making the other driver feel as if he were a police officer when he wasn’t. The man was later arrested for impersonating a public servant. (No, it wasn’t McGumbus.)

“Along with the New York Subway System, Hamptons Subway is the only underground transit system in the State of New York.”
The H amptons Subway Newsletter By DAn rattiner
Week of November 23 – 29, 2012 Riders this past week: 10,512 Rider miles this past week: 93,303 DOWN IN THE TUBE Robert De Niro was seen on the subway between Southampton and North Sea on Wednesday afternoon. He said he was not a frequent visitor to the Hamptons but when he does come out, he rides the subway to keep himself centered. He’s not going anywhere in particular. It just makes him feel like he’s back in Tribeca. THE TURKEY STAMPEDE A new event, called the “Turkey Stampede” for charity, was held last Wednesday night after closing time, at 2 a.m., with a shepherd from the old country using a switch to keep the turkeys moving through the tunnels down the tracks from Westhampton to Montauk, arriving there just before opening time at 6 a.m. Each turkey got friends to donate so-much-a-mile for the effort, and the money will be donated to one or
another of the charities out here. Nearly 1,000 turkeys participated. The event cost Nick “Frank” Frankenstorm, our new PR and marketing director, his job, however. It was supposed to be heavily promoted beforehand and it wasn’t. The straw that may have broken the camel’s back was that the event should have been in last week’s newsletter, but even that wasn’t done, so nobody showed up to watch. Also, as we write this, on Thursday afternoon, errant turkeys are still being rounded up here and there. FLOOD PROTECTION The subway is a sealed, underground system. So the only way a surge of water could get into it would be for the water to get down the subway stairs. As a result, an attempt is being made to design a system that could prevent that from happening by plugging them up. Hampton Subway engineers are now working with car manufacturers in Detroit to design an enormous airbag—we would need 14 of them for all 14 entrances—that could be installed
in the ceilings above the tops of the stairs so that, at the press of a button, they could inflate, zzzzzzzooooooMMMMM and seal the entrance watertight. The button would have to be well hidden, of course. CAROLYN ASPINALL TURNS NINE A huge birthday party for Carolyn Aspinall, the Commissioner’s daughter, was held simultaneously on all five floors of the Subway headquarters in Hampton Bays last Monday at noon, with all employees of the subway company present, bearing gifts. This accounts for why the system was closed between noon and 3 p.m. that day, in case you didn’t see the signs down on all the platforms about it. Five birthday cakes were baked and brought in, one on each floor, and Carolyn happily ran up and down the stairs blowing out the candles on each one after another. It sort of reminded everybody of Eloise, I think that’s her name, who runs around the Plaza. Carolyn is the darling of the Subway System. She may not come by the office often— she did once last year—and her personal limo with driver prevents her using the subway as much as she might like, but we love her anyway. What’s it feel like to be nine? People asked her—a silly question—since everybody who works here was nine at one point or another. COMMISSIONER ASPINALL’S MESSAGE Commissioner Aspinall is off on vacation in the Turks and Caicos this week.

Holiday Season Revised Two New Holidays, Two Existing Holidays Modified, Other Three OK By Dan Rattiner
E
veryone knows what’s coming up. It’s the holidays. Crackling fires, grand feasts with family and friends, Santa Claus, the exchanging of presents, decorated homes and trees, Christmas carols and all promises of good will, cheer and resolutions. Unfortunately, the downside of much of this is that all sorts of awkward arrangements get made involving which children and which adults go where and when. There are families where the children alternate between their mother’s family and father’s family, other families where the parents decide to go on “the day” or the day before “the day.” Some families even alternate Christmas day with the night before Christmas. It’s a beautiful time of the year. There’s lots of good feelings. But it is kind of a mess. I thought initially to write about all the other possible holidays that might be celebrated with more abandon during this period to make up for some of this. For example, there is the AfricanAmerican holiday Kwanzaa. There is Boxing Day, there is Pearl Harbor Day, there is Hanukkah, there is a day to remember the Virgin of Guadalupe. I also looked at some really strange days during November and December, such as Broccoli Day or Tennis Ball Week. Some are more important than others, but I think none fit the bill for something we could all enjoy nationally as a joyous but serious event. In looking into this, though, I came to realize what is so compelling about our three major
holidays during “the holidays” (I include New Year’s Day) is that they involve a feast, a gathering together of family and friends, feelings of good will, ritual and, for some, an exchange of presents. What would solve the problem of our multiple family situations, it seemed to me, was not to have just three of these extraordinary national holidays during this period to battle over, but five. We could also elevate two more holidays that seem to be shared and enjoyed during this time into a higher and better experience, for a grand total of seven. Here are the two new holidays I propose. One would be “Seventh Day.” The other would be “Family Tree Day.” “Family Tree Day” would take place every year around November 15. It could be held every second Sunday of the month. All nuclear families, with children or part-time children or no children, could erect a small bare tree in the living room. Most leaves are off small deciduous trees by this time. It would not be too hard to find one. An hour before dinner time, the people in the family who are present would examine the tree, go over to it, appropriately place tags created ahead of time bearing the names of family members on the different branches and limbs so as to remember people. Keep in mind that one’s name might be on many family trees in many living rooms. The immediate focus would be the tree where one is. But a further thing to think about would be the other households where such trees (Cont’d on page 28)

Alligators Ho! There Have Been Nine Found on the Streets Here. This Is Not Good By Dan Rattiner
S
trange things are happening with creatures coming to the Hamptons. Three days after Superstorm Sandy, my wife and I were down at the beach and we saw that among the seagulls flying around, there was a pelican flying over the shoreline. I had never seen a pelican here before. But my wife, who is familiar with pelicans, said that indeed that is was what it was, perhaps swept up in the warm, wet tropical vortex of the storm as it came charging up the coast. Then, two weeks ago, a woman living on Hampton Street in Southampton called the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to say that there was an alligator in a window well at her house. The Save the Animals Rescue Foundation came, confirmed this was the case, got it and took it
to their facility in Middle Island. At last report it was doing just fine, basking happily beneath a sunlamp at that shelter, according to one report in Newsday. This is not the first alligator to have been found on eastern Long Island recently. There have been nine of them found in just the last few weeks, the first in Mastic Beach, alligators two through eight in other locations on Long Island, and alligator nine here in Southampton. With the discovery of that first alligator and with the discovery of each alligator after that, including this ninth one, the authorities have declared that this is probably the work of some local person who has bought an alligator as a pet, perhaps for his or her child, gotten tired of having the alligator, perhaps because it had grown so fast and was developing a very nasty personality, and so has simply gone out and dumped the alligator off in the
brush somewhere. The explanation continues that this is a dastardly act indeed. There are laws making it illegal to own an alligator without a permit in New York. There are other laws that make it illegal to harm an alligator, and surely dumping them out of the car or truck or whatever qualifies as such dastardly behavior. It is particularly dastardly, they say, because this is a very poor lesson to be giving to a small child about what to do with pets. They hope they can catch this perpetrator. That this is a single perpetrator doing all this is a big stretch, however. Such a person would have to get one alligator after another and dump them, or get a whole congregation of alligators all at once and then drive them around like Johnny Appleseed, casting off one of them here and one there and one elsewhere. This is really unlikely. (Continued on page 30)
Help for Hamptons’ Neighbors, the Rockaways By oliver peterson
F
ollowing years of economic decline, poverty and a growing crime rate, the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens was finally on the mend. The blue-collar oceanfront community and once -popular summer resort had seen something of a revival over the last decade as new residential and commercial development dotted the shoreline. When surfing was legalized there in 2009, Rockaway Beach began attracting cool young twenty-somethings from nearby Williamsburg—the Ramones sang about it, after all—and as these tattooed, pierced and vintage-clad scenesters opened trendy shops and restaurants along the boardwalk, some even began calling it the “Hipster Hamptons.”
That was before Superstorm Sandy. In late October, the massive tempest made landfall in the Rockaways and brought unimaginable devastation. The sea rose up and devoured hundreds of homes, winds ripped apart the landscape and a rash of fires and power outages continued to wreak havoc even after Sandy passed and dwindled away. More than 100 homes were lost to fires in the Breezy Point section of the peninsula; 50 blocks of boardwalk were torn asunder and crashed into beachfront residences during the storm; and local streets, homes and businesses were left under water. The storm took 11 lives in Queens alone, looting and break-ins were widespread and millions of gallons of partially treated sewage flooded into area waters. Three weeks
later, the cleanup and humanitarian efforts have only just begun. Had the 1,000-mile-wide storm taken a slightly different path, the horrors in the Rockaways could have easily happened on the East End and the real Hamptons instead. The destruction might have been even worse. There but for the grace of God go I. Perhaps because of this fact, a host of East End residents have adopted the Rockaways’ cause. Dozens of kind-hearted locals have been organizing collections and relief efforts for Sandy’s victims in Queens. Groups formed specifically for this purpose, including East End Cares and Occupy Sandy among them. As recently as November 19, East Hampton’s Main Beach Surf + Sport held a (Continued on page 36)

were. After that, single small presents could be exchanged. I would think it would focus on things to wear for the upcoming winter weather. Then there would be a dinner, all fresh and organic, of vegetables, meat and fruits from the surrounding area, a reminder of what is healthy to eat and what is not, which, of course, is going to be the big turkey feasts of Thanksgiving and Christmas. “Seventh Day” would come between Thanksgiving and Christmas, preferably the first Sunday in December. But it has to be Sunday. “Seventh Day” would be a feast to celebrate the day that God rested. It’s in the Bible, in the Old Testament, so it could be shared by the various religious sects of Christians and Jews. It could also be celebrated by non-believers and
believers of other religions, in the same way they tolerate but ultimately join in at Christmas. I think that for this holiday, children should be asked to make their personal artistic interpretation of the earth. Give them each a basketball, paints, crayons, clay, pencils and pens. Put the finished products around the living room on side tables and mantelpieces and make a big fuss over all of them. Now we come to the two holidays that already exist that I think should be elevated in status to join with the other five in creating a deck of seven for the adults to choose from when deciding who goes to which and when. Halloween is already such an interesting holiday. Nobody really has a clue why everybody dresses up the way they do, but they do

do that, and then they go out trick or treating in the waning light of the end of the day and for an hour after. I would make Halloween an official national holiday, with all the appropriate government offices and schools closed. This holiday would continue to take place on October 31, whatever the day might be. But it would begin a lot earlier. By 10 a.m., not only the kids should get in costume, but all the adults. The sun is shining then, and everybody can see what everybody looks like. In every town in America, there should be a parade down Main Street at that hour. After that, at every grammar school in America, all the kids and their parents should assemble for a party in the gymnasium for one hour, at which time first prizes would be given out for the best kid’s costume and the best adult’s costume. A late buffet lunch would be brought out at noon. It should consist of only healthy things to eat—fruits and vegetables and broiled meats and fish from not only here and there but everywhere. It would be a lesson in healthy eating for not only the kids and their families but also for the cafeteria staffs. I think all this should be paid for out of our school taxes. The rest of the day would pass. Nap time? After that, the kids go out trick or treating. The second already existing holiday I would expand upon would be Super Bowl Sunday. It already is a big day. I would make it an official big day, and a feast day of barbecue, hot dogs, hamburgers, beer, soda, chips and cole slaw. In other words, I would leave it alone. But I would have it be the third Sunday in January, not the first Sunday in February. It used to be the third Sunday, then the fourth Sunday, but it got lengthened again about 10 years ago to create suspense, hype, advertising and build-up. I’d have the government calculate all the money saved by not having that second suspenseful week after the two teams are decided, and I’d give that money to charity. Nationwide, I think the money raised would be about a $100 billion. Then I’d announce, at the conclusion of Super Bowl Sunday, that the holiday season is over and now let’s get back to work (a week early.) Here it all is, in order. Halloween, Family Tree Day, Thanksgiving Day, Seventh Day, Christmas, New Years and Super Bowl Sunday. Seven holidays in ten weeks. And we deserve it. On December 1, the author of this article will play the role of Santa Claus in his sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer in the parade through downtown East Hampton at 10 a.m.

Surprise! While Everything Else Goes On, Puerto Ricans Vote for Statehood By Dan Rattiner
L
ittle noticed in the billion-dollar presidential election was a vote on the ballot in Puerto Rico. It asked Puerto Rican citizens the question, Do you want to become a state? This question has been on the ballot only three other times in the last half century. And each time, the answer has been no. We’d rather remain a commonwealth. This time the island voted by a nearly two-to-one majority, YES! You might say, well, just because they ask to become a state doesn’t mean we have to accept them as a state, and that is true. What it DOES mean, as it turns out, is that the U. S. Congress, by law, will have to consider the matter. And in the end, Congress will have very few grounds to turn them down. It’s in our Declaration of Independence. It says that “a government’s power comes from the consent
of those governed.” Puerto Ricans, an island governed by us, no longer consent to be a commonwealth. Now, if you are a right-wing Republican you might ask, what gives this group of 4,000,000 Latinos on an island the right to be subject to our Declaration of Independence? And they want to become CITIZENS? Well, guess what. They already ARE citizens. They have representatives in Congress. They pay many federal taxes. They can be drafted into the military in time of war. They can freely move to the 50 States from Puerto Rico and back. So forget it. They are not aliens. Their representatives in Congress have the right to talk, but they can’t vote. Some Puerto Ricans favoring statehood had something of a say in our recent presidential election. During the primary campaigns, Rick Santorum went to Puerto Rico to speak to some
Republican supporters there. Puerto Rico was about to hold a primary (on March 18, 2012). They had 23 delegates coming to vote at the Republican National Convention. Yes! Puerto Rico has delegates! Santorum drew a crowd of Puerto Rican Republicans. They all wanted to hear him repeat what he had said in prior speeches, which was that he favored Puerto Rico deciding whether or not they wanted statehood. So he did say that, but then he added something. “Like in every other state, it [must comply] with this and every other federal law—and that is that English should be the main language.” It did not go well. There is no such federal law anyway. There are lots of arguments both for and against Puerto Rico becoming our 51st state. For one thing, if you’ve been to Puerto Rico, you know the landscape (Continued on page 34)

y the time this edition reaches most East Enders, it will be the day after Thanksgiving. The children’s school plays, depicting the pilgrims and their plight will have been forgotten and many will be feeling the effects of overindulgence from the day before. It will be a long weekend of rest, family and the enjoyment of living in one of the best places on earth…the Hamptons of New York. And I will enjoy this time of year just like everyone else except for one thing—I will have a hard time sleeping knowing that many of my neighbors may be misinformed
about this holiday we call Thanksgiving and the people who are responsible for its recognition. There is ample data to give us an accurate depiction of the Mayflower Voyage and the Pilgrims, but for some reason, we desire to keep the myths versus the truth. SOME MYTHS OF THANKSGIVING. 1. The Pilgrims did not only wear black and white. Inventory—taken for the purposes of probate—of Mayflower passengers that died demonstrates that John Howland had two red waistcoats. William Bradford had a green gown and a violet cloak. William Brewster had green pants and a red cap. So the idea that all Pilgrims
were dressed in black and white is wrong. 2. The Pilgrims did not have buckles on their clothing, shoes or hats. Buckles did not come into fashion until the late 1600s. 3. During the famine of 1621, not a single Pilgrim died from famine. There was indeed a shortage of crops that year but there was fish, shellfish, nuts, waterfowl, turkey, deer and other native flora and fauna to sustain them. 4. The Mayflower passengers were not Puritans. They were Separatists. Puritans wanted to purify the Church of England while Separatists wanted to separate entirely from it. 5. The Mayflower (Cont’d on next page)

Alligators (Continued from page 27) It’s also very unlikely that there is a club of alligator owners that, in recent years, decided to disband, or that there are nine separate alligator owners who all answered the same ad on the same website. What could it be? I recently read a report about the major invasion of a very nasty kind of fish that has taken over much of the Mississippi River. The fish is an Asian Carp, not native to America. Like our alligator encounters, many authorities originally came up with this crazy story that maybe it was some local resident who collected exotic fish and had a big fish tank, and so brought in Asian Carp. But then, when they saw the carp attacking all the other fish with
their very sharp teeth and having past Arkansas, Nebraska, Iowa them for dinner, the owners, and Illinois in certain areas, now hysterical, netted the Asian Carp aiming to attack Chicago and the in his or her now empty fish Great Lakes. I recall that last year, tank—the carp hurl themselves anxious officials were talking at things chattering their about building these electric teeth and slapping themselves barriers across the Mississippi around—and got them over to that only fish who were not carp the Mississippi in Louisiana and would be allowed through up dumped them in, probably at to Chicago. But the latest news night. Bad people, whoever did Soon to invade Long Island? is that the carp, having gotten that. around these barriers, have now At this point, 40 years later, Asian Carp have gotten really close to Chicago, and in this pretty much cleaned all the local species of fish heightened state of hysteria there has been out of the Mississippi River, beginning down in this Indiana Jones type who persuaded the Louisiana and heading on up that body of water authorities to let him get rid of the carp by baiting a trap for them in the river and then setting off an underground explosion to kill them. He’s now done that, but what floated to the surface were about 200,000 pounds of dead fish, none of which were carp. So now they are looking for this guy. My belief is that what we have here is the same thing as with the Asian Carp, except that here it’s alligators. Trust me on this. We’ve found the first nine. This is just the beginning. I expect that by January we will be up to our ankles in alligators and this will be a very serious situation. And frankly, I have no idea what to do about that. We can’t harm them. We can’t leave them out in the cold. We can’t blow them up. We can’t take them in and put them in cages. We can’t kidnap them from their “habitat.” And certainly we can’t dump them by the side of the road, because that is where they are being found to begin with. It’s just too damn bad, I say.

passengers were not mostly old men. In fact, only 5 of the 104 passengers were over the age of 50 and only 14 were over the age of 40. At least 30 passengers were under the age of 17. Thirty-one of the passengers were female. So there you have it. Perhaps next Thanksgiving, you will look at this special time in a more informed way. Oh yeah…when the Pilgrims referred to Northern Virginia, guess where that included? If you guessed the Hamptons you would be correct. The Virginia Company had rights to most of the eastern seaboard of America. And in the day, that included what is now known as the East End of Long Island. IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN THE HAMPTONS, THE LAND YOU ARE STANDING ON WHILE READING THIS ARTICLE WAS ONCE KNOWN AS VIRGINIA. Wait a minute. Does that mean we are really Virginians and not New Yorkers?

he Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival, running from November 30 until December 2, is an experience unlike any other film fest on Long Island. While the Hamptons International Film Festival is a sneak peek into what films will be strong contenders come Oscar season, the Take 2 Documentary Film Festival features some of the finest voices in documentary filmmaking today. In its fifth year, the Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival is expanding and offering even more great entertainment for those looking to attend. Jacqui Lofaro, Executive Director of the Take 2 Documentary Film Festival, said “We’ve expanded to three days and doubled the number of films, the festival has grown since its inception five years ago. This is in response to the growing community interest and the growing number of filmmakers who submit their films to us.” The festival started back in 2008 when one of Lofaro’s own documentaries didn’t make it into the Hamptons International Film Festival. “There are lots and lots of submissions, so you’re up against a lot. Plus, there are certain requirements the Hamptons Film Fest has, so during an interview with Bonnie Grice of WPPB she said, ‘You should start your own festival, Jacqui!’ and so I did!” Lofaro said, chuckling. The festival aims to give documentary filmmakers an opportunity to have a second chance, “a take two, as they say in the film business,” Lofaro continued. “That’s why the fest is the Take 2 Documentary Film Festival. We don’t have many requirements, other than the film needing to be a doc, as well as some geographical requirements. We’re a small fest, so we’re open to Nassau and Suffolk counties, as well as New York.” Susan Lacy, creator and producer of the tremendous PBS series American Masters, will be receiving honors from the Take 2 Festival for her outstanding work in the field of documentary filmmaking. At the Hamptons International Film Fest, American Masters: Inventing David Geffen was screened and met with wide praise from the audience. Over the years, the American Masters series has provided an insight into the lives of tastemakers and luminaries we all admire. As part of the festival, Lacy’s personal favorite documentary, Leonard Bernstein: Reaching for the Note, will be screened. Both events are happening Saturday night, December 1. While discussing previous years of the Take 2 Documentary Film Fest, Lofaro mentioned her favorite film was perhaps Crisis: Behind A Presidential Commitment, which screened last year in celebration of filmmaker Richard Leacock. The screening of Suzanne Farrell: Elusive Muse was also a favorite, as Don Lenzer, cinematographer on the doc, is an East Ender. “The film was made by people who are here, on the East End of Long Island, so that gave us a thrill, to feature Oscar-winning Long Islanders,” Lofaro said. Another interesting aspect of the festival is the First Exposure program, which allows high school students to show their short-subject docs to an audience. Three students will be featured this year from high schools across Long Island. Fostering the next generation of

Hamptons resident Ed Burns will soon release his 11th film as a writerdirector. The Fitzgerald Family Christmas explores the story of an Irish-American family on Long Island dealing with their absent patriarch’s return during the holidays. The film will Ed Burns be available on demand beginning Nov. 21 and in theaters Dec. 7. Tom Colicchio, celebrity chef and co-owner of The Topping Rose House (TRH) in Bridgehampton, has a new show on YouTube’s
New York Knicks point guard and Water Mill resident Jason Kidd needed seven stitches after colliding with another player during a game against the Indiana Pacers last Sunday. Several Hamptons VIPs enjoyed an off-season night out at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor last week, including Christie Brinkley, Robert Zimmerman, Anne Hearst McInerney, Margo Alexander, and former State Democratic Chair Judith Hope and her husband, Thomas A. Twomey. Novelist and long-time food critic for The New York Post Nancy Winters lunched at Pierre’s in Bridgehampton on Friday. The Hamptons International Film Festival announced last week that Karen Arikian, who has served as the Executive Director of the Festival for five years, will be leaving her post at the end of November to pursue new opportunities. Last Friday The Clamshell Foundation gave out 100 frozen turkey breasts to nine churches, the American Legion and The Retreat. Earlier they gave 18 dozen T-shirts to disaster relief
efforts in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. In May they will be giving three $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors. At the 15th Annual Collaborating for a Cure dinner and auction to benefit the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation last Thursday, Dr. Samuel Waxman and his wife, Marion, welcomed over 900 guests to the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan. After cocktails and dinner, there was an auction led by Hugh Hildsley of Sotheby’s. The bidding was generous on prizes ranging from a cuddly black Lab puppy that went for $8,000, to a wine tasting and dinner for up to 50 couples at the home of benefit hosts Michael and Elin Nierenberg. “This is the annual get-together where the financial services people like to give back,” said Nierenberg as he greeted his well-heeled guests. The very un–Brooks Brothers, quintessential hippies Peter Frampton and Gregg Allman fronting the Warren Haynes Band performed. Their signed guitars were also auctioned items, going for as much as $10,000. It almost seemed like one of those brilliant East End summer nights because, as Dr. Waxman said, “Most of the people here tonight have houses in the Hamptons.” Those included honoree designer Carmen Marco Valvo, a colon cancer survivor, who said he wants to make it fashionable to discuss cancer, and distinguished service awardees Dale and Peter Claman and board member Gary Jacob.

HAS YOUR HEATING, HOT WATER, OR WELL SYSTEM EQUIPMENT BEEN EXPOSED TO WATER? Heating, Ventilating and Cooling (HVAC) equipment, such as furnace, boiler or hot water heater, can be damaged extensively if it is exposed to water. The amount of damage will depend partly on the exposure and the amount of time the equipment remains under water. Often, the damage is so great that the only solution is replacement. This would be the time to consider energy efficient, cost saving, upgraded equipment.

Dan’s Best of the Best Rocked Southampton Last Week By ellen dioguardi & stacy dermont
ast Thursday night hundreds of Dan’s Papers Best of the Best winners and their guests packed the dance floor at 230 Elm in Southampton to celebrate and to share! By every count it was our BEST Best of the Best party ever—and plans are underway for an even bigger event next year. In addition to the many winners, folks came out to dance and to support fundraising efforts to benefit victims of Superstorm Sandy and local food pantries. Attendees included Southampton Mayor Mark Epley and his wife; Robert Ross, Vice President of Community and Government Relations for Southampton Hospital; “The boysâ€? from WLNG 92.1 FM—Gary, Bob and Dave; Bret Pahwul from Have a Heart Community Trust; and Dan’s Papers cartoonist and frequent cover artist Mickey Paraskevas. In addition to Mazzu Catering’s delish hors d’oeuvres and wines donated by East End wineries, attractions included Publick House beers, Nothin’ But cookies and‌live music! This year, for the first time, the winning singersongwriters and bands took to the stage and really tore it up! Sag Harbor three-piece Suzy on the Rocks was the first to get the crowd dancin’ to classic Motown and funky faves. Paul Mahos and New Life Crisis closed the night with a set of party music that really rocked the house! As Ellen said, “I had to LITERALLY pull the plug on New Life Crisis or I think I’d still be there.â€? It may have been an actual TON of goods that were collected at the door for those still wrestling with the aftereffects of Sandy. Nonperishable foods, detergent and cleaning products piled up outside the main entrance. Thanks, guys! THE Dan Rattiner made his celebrity appearance and stood alongside many, many winners to have their photos taken with him. It was truly a magical night and so it obeyed the law of threes. I (Stacy) personally witnessed three magical events. 1. A Perfect Abbott and Costello Moment: I was at the main exit giving away copies of Dan’s Papers and Zagat Guides. Our Photo Coordinator Tom Kochie came over and shouted over the music, “Do you know the name of this band, who are those guys?â€? I replied, “Yes! The band is ‘Who Are Those Guys!’â€? “WHAT?!â€? “’Who Are Those Guys’ IS their name!â€? “Really?â€? “Yeah.â€? “Okay.â€? Twenty minutes later I was checking in with Ellen and she shared, laughing, that Tom had understood what I was saying—but didn’t believe me for a minute! 2. An older gentleman was on his way out. I offered him a free Zagat’s but he said, “Thanks but I’m just going to the men’s room.â€? I gamely replied, “Okay, I’ll just hold it for you then.â€? Our eyes met. One of us turned red. 3. I saw the newlywed on our staff, Marketing Coordinator Lisa Barone, cleaning up across the room. She was clearing off the table at the entrance and reached for the bundle of helium balloons that had been attached to the table’s

Puerto (Continued from page 29) is stunningly beautiful. It has magnificent mountains and rainforests, beaches and waterfalls. If it became a state, as a resort destination, it could rival Hawaii. It is also of military significance, with naval bases and both air force and army bases. It also has a considerable pharmaceutical and electronics industry. Unfortunately, in its longtime position as a “commonwealth,” with non-voting members of Congress, it has had very little access or influence to get important federal infrastructure projects funded, and so, today, some of its roads and other facilities are not what they should be. If fixed up, Puerto Rico could truly be a treasure. (An argument against statehood is that in the TREADMILLS

present system, the federal government grants the Puerto Rican government $10 billion in aid in place of infrastructure appropriations every year. But because this is not a state, there’s no federal oversight of it so much of it is wasted. If it got statehood, we’d just call it federal money going to a state.) Another argument from the right against statehood for Puerto Rico is, within the framework of the current population trends in America where “minorities” are slowly overtaking “whites,” having 4,000,000 more “minorities” would just be the straw that breaks the camel’s back—or to put it another way, hasten where we are already heading, down the road to ruination because of these new unwanted foreigners coming to America.

It’s my opinion that the economic troubles we are now in are partially, maybe even primarily, caused by so-called “unwanted” south-of-theborder foreigners coming here illegally, working hard for little money, then sending it back to their home countries without having to pay any taxes on it because, since they are unwanted, we refuse to recognize them as citizens and so are unable to tax them. Sounds like a little common sense—if we knight the unwanteds into citizens, we can tax them—would go a long way to solving that financial issue. But then we would be giving up on our immigration “quota” system, which lets this person in, but not that person, depending on where they are coming from. What are we defending here? A private club? The quota system is not how it used to be, by the way. All that stuff about Ellis Island and the immigrants back around 1900 was designed to keep out people who were criminals or carrying infectious diseases. From Ellis Island you can look out to the Statue of Liberty. We all know what is inscribed on that statue. There were no quotas then. Quotas came in in 1921. The law reads that those allowed in should be ethnically in proportion to the ethnic percentages of the ethnic groups already here. Therefore the majority ethnic group in place in 1921 would remain the majority ethnic group. At that time, some people believe, it was meant to stop Jews fleeing persecution from Europe. Personally, I can think of only one really acceptable reason why we should not make the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico into a state, and that is because it would screw up the American flag. We did fine with 13 states. We made the 13 into a circle of stars. Currently we have 50 states. They work in offsetting rows of stars. And before that we had 48 states, which made great cornrows of stars in straight lines. We even must have done beautiful things before we got Arizona and New Mexico as states back in the early 1900s, though I don’t know what it was. All I do know is, with 51 stars you cannot make any pattern that would make any sense. It just won’t work. Nobody would salute a flag with 51 stars. There are, however, two solutions to this. One is that we throw one of the existing states out of the union when we invite Puerto Rico in. So we stay at 50. All we have to do is decide which one has to go. The other is (and this works to keep everything in balance for those extreme rightwing Republicans) to take on a 52nd state that will counterbalance the minority immigrant state of Puerto Rico. And I know exactly what should be the 52nd state. Nova Scotia. There hasn’t been a minority person in Nova Scotia in years. It’s an Englishspeaking province of Canada completely blocked in by French speaking provinces. (More dang foreigners.) So it would not be missed. Also, the way it is attached to the Canadian mainland geographically, as a big lump of fruit attached by some sort of stalk, it’s absolutely ripe for picking. Fifty-two. Now there’s a number the designers can make work. Tell us what you think at danshamptons.com

Lobsters are so quintessentially Montauk
GUEST ESSAY
Montauk Lester By liz roddin
“
Dad, how many lobsters are we going to buy?” I asked as we stood mesmerized by the huge tanks at Gosman’s Dock in Montauk, full of the blackish/greenish shellfish, water spilling from the tanks above into those lower down. There were tanks for lobsters of every size—one for one–to–three pounders, one for three–to–five pounders, and others to hold those weighing five to seven pounds or more. At 10 or 11 years old, I had seen the tanks of lobsters in our A&P or the IGA, and they had always fascinated me, but this was a whole room just filled with tubs of them, and I knew I had never seen anything like it. “We’re not sure yet, Lizzy. We may get 10 or 12 little ones, or we may just try to find one big one.” Wow, I thought. I hope we get a big one. I listened intently as my parents discussed the merits of the smaller, tenderer animals versus the larger, tougher, less expensive ones. My sisters and I walked from tank to tank, watching how fast this one swam or how long another one looked at us, examining the claws—with corks in their wrist joints—and noticing the larger, dull-toothed claw for crushing and the relatively smaller pointy-toothed claw for piercing. I loved this day, driving all the way to Montauk Point with our parents and grandparents, visiting the lighthouse, and now stopping at Gosman’s to buy one of our all-time favorite dinners— lobster. I could remember the last time my mom had brought some home from the grocery store, and she’d let us put them on the kitchen floor Liz Roddin has lived on Long Island all of her life (except for college and one year away), and lived in Stony Brook with her husband Michael and (sometimes) their son Andrew. Roddin went to Camp St. Regis in East Hampton as a kid and has always loved all things East End.
to see them walk around as we had waited for the water to boil. I’d been surprised then at their color, wondering why they were black and not the red-orange they were supposed to be. I loved looking at them, their eyes, their antennae, their awkward, scraggly legs. But any attachment I’d felt toward them melted with the butter we dipped them in at that night’s dinner table. Now, we were in the shellfish capital of all of Long Island, and I knew this night would be very special—memorable and delicious. Finally, after much deliberation, my parents chose the biggest lobster I had ever seen—he weighed 13 pounds—and we named him Lester. The man at the counter lifted Lester out of the tank and placed him in a three-foot long plastic bag that he packed with crushed ice so that Lester would survive the two-hour trip home to Huntington and be fresh for our dinner. He “sat” in the way back of our station wagon, and I turned around frequently to see what he was doing, whether the ice was melting, and whether he was still moving or not. When we got home, my dad took Lester out of the big bag and placed him on our lounge chair with the green–and–white webbed nylon strips. Lester took up at least two–thirds of the chaise lounge’s lower portion. He took a Polaroid of the creature, and I looked longingly at that picture for years, remembering that lobster, remembering that day. I watched as Lester enjoyed his pre-pot perch, and he seemed such a noble guy, calm, quiet, even dignified. My mother was in the kitchen, looking for a pot big enough to cook him, and I can’t remember how she did it, and I didn’t watch it happen, but she did cook him, and his black-green shell came out of the water bright orange, and she and my Dad broke his shell and made sure we all had a big portion and our own little cup of melted lemon butter. The adults agreed he (Cont’d on next page)

help the Rockaways has been extraordinary. Sandy was no picnic on the twin forks, but the specter of what could have been is hard to ignore. A direct hit would be catastrophic, and these storms are becoming more frequent. It’s only a matter of time. Maybe the East End is paying it forward? It’s hard not to imagine volunteers thinking of their own homes as they scoop burnt, blackened and wet debris from the streets and structures in Rockaway. “People have stared into the abyss by looking to our neighbors to the west,” Jeremy Samuelson, Executive Director of Concerned Citizens of Montauk said on Monday. The environmental advocate is currently pushing for improved natural buffers (dunes and wetlands) in Montauk and on the East End, as well as creating a smart reconstruction plan in the event of another calamitous storm. He said Montauk and the rest of the South Fork could face terrible devastation if a storm like Sandy hit a little closer to home. “I really hope people in our community are going to sit down and have an honest conversation.” Melissa Berman of EEC acknowledged that the feeling that the East End dodged a bullet has definitely played a part in the phenomenal response to the Rockaways. She pointed out that many East Enders have connections to the most affected communities, whether they grew up there, surfed there or spent summers on the Queens beaches. She said the East End community is very altruistic and has displayed abundant compassion. “The outpouring has been overwhelming, as has the initiative people have taken to just get in there and find ways to help. No one is sitting around waiting, our East End community knows how to get things done—it has been awe inspiring to watch.”

was a “little tough,” but he tasted pretty good to me, although there was a part of me that wished he were back on the chaise lounge, astounding us with his blackish shell, his asymmetrical claws, and his impressive bulk. Part of me wished he were back at Montauk in the tanks at Gosman’s or, even better, in the waters of the ocean or Block Island Sound. Somewhere between Montauk and Huntington our dinner’s personality had made its way into my heart, and if I’d had the courage of my convictions, I never would have tasted him at all. I’ve never been able to cook a lobster. I still look at them in their holding tanks, especially when I go out to Montauk, but I don’t buy them live, and I definitely don’t cook them. I still eat them but usually opt for the tail rather than the fresher, tastier whole lobster whose eyes I watch as I crack into his body, first tail and then claws and legs. I see him swimming, blackish green, at the bottom of the sound or out at Montauk, scavenging, eating, fighting with his brothers or sisters, and just doing what lobsters do. I still love the taste, love dipping the white and orange meat into the lemon butter, but it’s not a clear-cut proposition. By the end of dinner, it feels as if I’ve eaten my pet. I guess I have Lester to thank for that, him and the memory he made for my family and me in Montauk such a long time ago.

Who’s Here By kelly laffey
J
ohn Catsimatidis’ story is the quintessential tale of realizing the American Dream. A presence on both the East End and in New York, Catismatidis is a Greek immigrant turned self-made billionaire, philanthropist and potential 2013 New York City mayor. The CEO of Gristedes Foods and Red Apple Group, Catsimatidis came to New York as an infant. With little money, his family settled in an apartment in Harlem. Catismatidis attended Brooklyn Technical High School before enrolling in New York University to study engineering. But his part-time job at his cousin’s small supermarket during college eventually proved to be more valuable, as it gave way to his ownership of a grocery at Broadway and 99th Street in Manhattan. Catsimatidis soon realized that he was making more money than any of his engineering friends. He made the decision to stay in the business and left NYU just shy of graduation. From there, Red Apple Group was born, and the company acquired Gristedes in 1986. Curiosity, excitement and good business sense prompted Catsimatidis to dabble in other ventures, and he has found success in such avenues as real estate, oil and aviation. Catsimatidis’ work and accomplishments in the business sector have prompted a thirst for social responsibility. He is heavily invested in the Police Athletic League (PAL), the Greek Orthodox Church, Boy Scouts of America and Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, among others. Most recently, Catsimatidis was named Humanitarian of the Year by YAI National Institute for People with Disabilities, and he will be recognized at the organization’s annual gala on November 28. YAI provides support for people with developmental disabilities and their families through a network of programs in the New York metro region. “My wife and I have always been involved with children—children are our future,” Catsimatidis says. He seeks to draw attention to the “mindboggling” prevalence of developmental disabilities. “John Catsimatidis has shown us what is possible when you refuse to be defined by your obstacles,” said YAI CEO Stephen E. Freeman in the event’s release. “Seeing beyond disability is at the core of YAI’s philosophy and mission.” From his humble beginnings, Catsimatidis is now listed at No. 132 on the Forbes 400 list and No. 634 on the Forbes billionaires list. He owns a home in East Quogue, and is also a major contributor to the Greek Orthodox Church of the Hamptons in Southampton, which has undergone a significant renovation and expansion. “I’ve always been involved [in the Greek Orthodox Church] in any way I can,” says Catsimatidis. From 1996 to 1998, he served as President of the Archdiocesan Council of the
John Catsimatidis PHILANTHROPIST
“He has shown us what is possible when you refuse to be defined by your obstacles” Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, the highest layperson in the church. Catsimatidis is especially attracted to the Greek Orthodox Church of the Hamptons because it appeals to a wide audience. “It doesn’t only attract Greek Orthodox,” he says. Catsimatidis’ latest business venture took place on the East End, as his United Refining Company purchased Phillips 66’s marine petroleum terminal and associated assets in Riverhead in early October. Catsimatidis is the Chairman and CEO of United Refining Company, and he came into the oil business, which is now the largest part of his portfolio, through sheer luck. Catsimatidis was in bankruptcy court over one of his airline companies, and United Refining was there at the same time. He decided to buy, and he convinced his banks that “olive oil…crude oil…it’s all the same.” The confidence tactic worked, and the banks financed his purchase of United Refining.
The Riverhead marine terminal is utilized as storage and a transshipment hub for crude, heavy fuels, diesel and gasoline, and the offshore marine platform is the only deep-water loading/ unloading platform on the eastern seaboard. “(With the acquisition), we will be able to provide storage and terminal services to a wide variety of customers throughout the world,” Catsimatidis said in a release. But when he’s home on the East End, Catsimatidis mostly likes to relax. “I like walking to the beach and thinking about life. And I only smoke on Saturdays.” Breaks seem to be few and far between, as Catsimatidis has announced that he has established an “exploratory committee” to consider his candidacy for New York City mayor. A Clinton Democrat, he was considering a run in 2009 as a Republican but quietly withdrew from the race when Mayor Michael Bloomberg was able to get a third term under newly revised term– limit laws. Catsimatidis asserts that “my biggest concern is the future welfare of the city,” when commenting on issues in New York that need the most attention. “The success of New York is built on the confidence and trust the business community, both domestically and internationally, has in the leaders of New York City. Confidence in the mayor that he or she will hold this great city together.” Catsimatidis is the favored face of the 2013 election for many Republicans. In a June 2 interview with NY1, Catsimatidis commented that Bloomberg works for $1 a year, an indicator that he is “beholding to nobody.” In that same vein, Catsimatidis deadpanned: “If I ever got there, I would work for $1 a year, maybe 99 cents since I’m a grocer—I’ll be on special, 99 cents!” Catsimatidis also once stated that he would advocate for the World’s Fair to come to New York in 2014 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1964 World’s Fair. As far as an East End pet project, Catsimatidis sardonically replies: “I would like to visit friends in Bridgehampton and have it take less than two hours.” Catsimatidis’ potential mayoral run is another political topic that could no doubt come out at the family dinner table—Christopher Cox, grandson of Richard Nixon and a Westhampton Beach resident, is Catsimatidis’ son-in-law. Catsimatidis has two children. Daughter Andrea graduated from New York University and married Cox, who is 11 years her senior, in 2011 after the two met while she was in high school and he was working on the John McCain presidential campaign. Son John Jr. is currently a student at New York University. And with his family always on his mind, Catsimatidis spent Thanksgiving in true American fashion. “Everyone together no matter where in the world that may be.”

This Week’s Cover Artist: Enid Hatton By Marion Wolberg Weiss
O
ne would never guess from this week’s cover that the artist, Enid Hatton, had been both a medical illustrator and a recorder for the Air Force’s drone program. If truth be told, Hatton can’t be categorized with regards to subject matter. Quite the contrary. Nor can her style be pigeonholed. Take, for example, her portraits and still lifes that are detailed and realistic, perhaps recalling her analytic medical drawings. Yet her landscapes and figurative works seem somewhat fantasy-like, her female figures looking like characters from a play or movie. Your cover, “Two Roosters and a Hen,” isn’t like anything you usually paint. How did this come about? It was for a fundraiser for New Pond Farm, where they have all kinds of animals. I must have taken 500 photographs of chickens. You also have donated work to the Air Force, recording entirely different kinds of subjects. Yes. I was commissioned to document Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the surrounding area. One of those works hangs in the Pentagon. I was also asked to go out West as part of the Air Force Art Program and document the drones. Was what you were doing classified? Usually what you’re doing is classified. It’s such a privilege to be part of the program. So, they honor me, I honor them.
Hatton started doing medical drawing because she was attracted to the human form. She doesn’t feel a need to travel for inspiration.
And to think, you started out illustrating something totally different. I went to Johns Hopkins, where I studied applied medical art. I remember it was a bit “scuzzy” there in the 1970s. Baltimore was just beginning to build the Inner Harbor. But I learned a lot at Johns Hopkins, how to be analytical as well as artistic. What exactly did you illustrate? I drew medical, surgical devices and posters you see in a doctor’s office of the heart, for example. Also, 20 years ago, I did the first manual on laparoscopic surgery. I heard that a doctor in Africa tore a page out of my manual to do his first such operation. Why did you want to do medical illustration? I wanted to help. I didn’t want to be a doctor. But I also did want to be a doctor. However, I
don’t like blood. What exactly did it take to do your job? First, it was very competitive to get into the Johns Hopkins program. You are also taking classes with doctors so you have to know what they know. Some doctors can’t explain their way out of a paper bag, so it was my job to clarify what they meant through illustrations. In the beginning of the profession, a lot of doctors’ wives drew the pictures. When I started, I had to correct these poor illustrations. In the subsequent years, you have gone on to create portraits and landscapes. How are your portraits similar to your medical illustrations? I initially started medical drawings because I was attracted to the human form. Portraits are analytical, but anyone can do a likeness. I like to capture the spirit of the person, actually both the likeness and the spirit. You are always making discoveries yourself as you go from subject to subject. It gives me delight to jump from one thing to the next. I have a talent for art, and I want to express myself to the world. I don’t put myself away in a closet and paint just what I see. So, do you need to travel to get inspirations? I don’t have to travel. Inspiration is all around me. Hatton will be part of a group show at Greenport’s South Street Gallery (18 South Street) starting Nov. 30. Call 631-477-0021 for information. hattonfineart.com
Giving Thanks for the Little Things kept me full until I grabbed a late lunch. I’m not recommending having an Egg McMuffin every day. (I did eventually look up the nutrition facts—300 calories is not bad, but the sodium and fat will get you.) But the goofy smile that was plastered on my face for the rest of the day made me think, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, of giving thanks for other everyday things. I’m thankful for Egg McMuffins and for breakfast in general. I’m also thankful for running, which allows me to occasionally indulge in said McMuffin with only a mild feeling of guilt. I’m thankful for coffee. It’s a definite highlight of the morning. I’m not even sure I would run without knowing that I could grab a cup of coffee after I’m finished. (Sometimes I make a
Last week, I had my firstever Egg McMuffin. It was phenomenal. The decision to break my 24-year-old stand off with the Holy Grail of fast food breakfast was swift and easy. Late Tuesday night, the conversation in the office quickly turned to all of the great qualities of the McCheesy, McButtery, McCanadianBacony sandwich. And it was obvious that I had to get my hands on one. I opted not to check out the nutrition facts before I drove through the Golden Arches on Wednesday morning. What was the point? I knew that they couldn’t be great for you. But I also reasoned that there had to be worse things to eat. At the very least, I was about to get a breakfast that has three forms of protein and a dash of carbs. But, just to be sure, I went for a run before work. I was ravenous by the time I sat down at my desk with my bounty. The first bite was glorious—the butter added a tad of sweetness, the cheese was nicely melted. And it was, surprisingly, not messy. Great for discreet office eating. It did exactly what a breakfast is supposed to do—satisfied my need for protein and I’m thankful for breakfast. And for R.A. Dickey.
trip to the coffee shop before I shower, so I’m thankful for everyone who lets me buy my pickme-up without complaining about that.) I’ve also recently become thankful for Southampton High School and its surrounding network of soft fields. Constantly pounding the pavement sometimes can lead to aches and pains. For me, occasionally running on soft or natural surfaces often solves the problem. But there is a definite lack of a runners’ trail system on the East End. Running one perimeter around the high school and intermediate school fields, plus a lap around the track, equals one mile. (Or, it did when I was in school, which was before the additions.) Since the distance is now a bit of an approximation, I set my watch and run for time. It’s a great break from the sidewalks. Though I can easily become bored of the same scenery, the concept of running a lap also ups the challenge and keeps it interesting—can I beat my previous time? Mentally, it’s also a nice way to compartmentalize a run. You get to check a mile off each time you complete a lap. Plus, the bonus of always being in the sun—a nice perk when running in the cold— makes the monotony so worth it. Lastly, I’m thankful that R.A. Dickey was recently named the National League Cy Young Award winner. It’s hysterical to think that, of the Mets’ 74 wins, Dickey accounted for 20 of them. He is truly the Egg McMuffin of pitchers.

By David lion Rattiner
One of the coolest things in Springs right now is the Springs Dog Park. This park is a perfect example of how a community can get together and do something absolutely fantastic for its members at a very low cost. The dog park is an enclosed area that is accessed through a small gate that is always unlocked. You bring your dog, let him run around, and you get to hang out with other owners. It costs almost nothing to maintain and is a secret gem in the Hamptons. If any town is looking for a model on how to use open land in a way that is positive for everybody, they should have a look at this dog park. I can’t say enough good things about it, and it cracks me up that Springs is the place that thought of this. Springs is supposed to be the blue-collar part of East Hampton. Well, guess what? Blue-collar people have this whole dog park thing figured out. We could use a few more. The rich folks in Southampton should be in favor of something like this—after all, it would mean less dog poop on the beach. ***

If there is anybody on the face of the earth who should be able to successfully cover his tracks, it should be the head of the CIA. I think we all could use a little bit more rock ‘n roll. It’s good for you. Last Saturday I went to 75 Main to check out the band New Life Crisis, which was playing without a cover charge. I love when there is no cover charge to see live music. Whenever this happens, I make a point to spend more money at the bar—I hope more people spend some more cash for food and drink when places offer artists free of charge. *** I personally know three people in the construction business who are so busy with work in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy that they are being forced to turn down business. At least some part of our society and economy is benefitting from this tragedy. *** I don’t know how else to say this: I just think it’s completely nuts that America’s top spy got caught cheating on his wife by leaving behind an email trail. Even a high school kid knows that you shouldn’t do that. How does the TOP SPY not get away with this? I’m glad he didn’t, of course, but I’m just saying that if there is anybody on the face of the earth who should be able to successfully cover his tracks, it should be the head of the CIA. *** Speaking of spies, I saw the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, and thought, How is this the highest-grossing James Bond film ever?

Beware Those Blood-Sucking Veggies! Extreme overconsumption of food really gets me thinking—I can’t do much else, after all. One’s eating habits form a sort of microcosm, don’t they? It’s everything that’s happening in the world but smaller, meted out by the mouthful and—with luck— full of flavor. When I met my future husband I was kind of Puritanical. I wore tight dresses and had some fun but I was a workaholic ethical vegetarian. And I didn’t drink OR drive. Husband was kinda the opposite, something of a hedonist. Since he was really cute, I felt that his lifestyle of omnivorous eating and drinking and listening to music way too loud deserved exploration. We sort of met in the middle. I adopted some of his hedonistic tendencies, he has been largely vegetarian at home for years. Now we take turns writing restaurant reviews.* Nothing to complain about there, but my eating habits have made me sick in a surprising way. After seeing the film Forks Over Knives last year Husband and I—without any discussion at all—became vegan at home. We gave up cooking meat and fish altogether and cut out eggs and cheese. We felt better, but it also made us really look forward to doing restaurant reviews! This seemed to work out well. Ascetic
but…naughty too. Then last week I went to donate blood at Southampton Hospital and was turned away. Me! You know that annoying prick that they perpetrate on your finger before you donate? Mine revealed that I was slightly anemic. Damn it! I am extremely squeamish. The sight of a box of Band-Aids can upset me but I force myself to donate blood. Now this? Talk about adding insult to injury. Who saw this coming? Only the One Who Knows and Tells All, my mother-in-law. She’s been nagging me for years that “she-screwedherself-up-because-she-didn’teat-red-meat-for-years-and-nowshe-can’t-digest-it-and-she-hasto-take-prescribed-vitaminsand-get-shots.” Argh. I never bothered about nutrition. I figured that most foods are made up of protein and that the occasional shrimp THE Burger! cocktail provided all the iodine I need. I looked up what foods are rich in iron. Double damn! Liver, red meat, egg yolks, salmon, chicken, whole grains, beans and dark green leafies—but there’s a blog out there all about how spinach is NOT rich in iron…is that “irony?” I really don’t think so. I am absolutely going to treat my condition with food rather than pills. I had a burger on Saturday. It was the best burger ever! Not
because it’s been years since I last ate a burger but because this one was raised and prepared with knowledge and love. Art Ludlow of Mecox Bay Dairy raises beef in Bridgehampton and he sells it at the Sag Harbor Fair Foods Market at Bay Burger. Bette Lacina farms next door to Bay Burger with her partner Dale Haubrich (Bette & Dale’s Farm). I volunteer at their farm on Saturday mornings at the same time that the market is going on. Oh man, Bette fired up that fresh, local burger meat and threw some of her own mesclun on rosemary bread and applied ketchup. Best…burger…ever. You can see that, right? I don’t want to have to eat meat. I very much prefer to kill only leaves, but damn it I have incisors and I’m weak. As Audrey II said in Little Shop of Horrors, “Feed me!” S. Dermont

*Here are two tips, dear readers, because you read my column and my restaurant reviews: 1. Have what we had. Before we order we ask key questions so that we know a lot about where our food comes from and how it’s prepared. If we liked it, you probably will, too. 2. You can largely judge a restaurant based on its soup and its roast chicken. If they don’t get these basic menu items right…call a different number for reservations next time. See Stacy’s latest review on page 53.
Mouse Friends on Shelter Island I’ve had a little mouse now for about a month. He comes up from under the sink around 8:30 p.m. and crosses the kitchen over to the living room and runs along the wall until he gets behind the TV. I named him Terry. He’s about the size of a walnut, and except for the little crunching noises I hear, because he’s found a Cheerio my granddaughter left, I never hear him at all. The expression “quiet as a mouse” is quite accurate. I’ve been trying to think of ways to humanely excise him from the premises. I don’t want to kill him. He’s just a tiny little fellow looking for warmth and a raisin or maybe a cookie crumb. How can I be cruel? Mousetraps will snap his back. There’s also this blue cake thing that I can leave for him by the sink—It makes him super thirsty, and when he drinks water the blue cake will just expand in his stomach until it kills him. I’ve tried to have discussions with him. Sometimes when he crosses the living room from the TV to under the couch, he stops near a toy and looks at me. It’s clear to me he’s trying to communicate. He does squeak sometimes and I assume he’s making an appeal to live out the winter with me. I have to say, it’s intriguing. It does get lonely at night and he is awfully cute and strong. I was so surprised when he
managed to drag a plastic spoon with peanut butter residue from behind the toy box to his hideout behind the TV. I didn’t know mice could drag things. Mice can also pop straight up about 12 inches when startled. I never knew that either. He was crossing the living room one evening and I dropped something, accidentally, not to scare him, and he popped straight up! I felt awful that I had scared him so bad. Poor little guy, just looking for a Cheez Doodle and I practically give him a heart attack. I have also learned how fast mice are! I usually am aware of Terry just as he disappears under something. Small, fast, agile, no wonder we have to set traps for them, you could never catch them. Terry’s begun to get a little bolder with time. He runs closer to me than when he first got here. I haven’t deliberately given him any food. I don’t want him to think that’s it’s Who you lookin’ at? totally okay with me that he’s here. He really should go live in the woods with his friends. He should realize that no matter how hard we work at it, our friendship would be very limited by virtue of being different species. No matter how cute he is, and even if he could learn to squeak once for ‘yes’
and twice for ‘no,’ he just doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to keep up with me. I’d have to constantly pause Dancing With The Stars and explain everything to him. And how could I understand mouse life? I’ve never been able to flatten my body to half an inch and get under doors. And one pretzel does not a meal make. And there’s another issue, which has only recently come up. When Terry first got here, I told him that he couldn’t have any friends over. However, about three nights ago, I thought Terry was really active because I kept seeing him in the kitchen and, a second later, I’d see him in the living room. Well, you guessed it—he invited someone over against my expressed rules. I know it’s just one more little mouse, but if I let him get away with this, where does it stop? I don’t want my house to be party central for mice. Unless they’re going to make me a dress, like they did for Cinderella, they cannot hang out here. My daughter said she’s getting mousetraps. She thinks I’ve become too emotionally involved with Terry. Well, it’s possible, I suppose. I guess I shouldn’t have mentioned putting a string of Christmas lights under the TV for him… 5T4R/Flickr

NEWS BRIEFS Compiled by kelly laffey
Twinkie the Kid May Not Ride off into the Sunset Just Yet EVERYWHERE: As we go to press, Hostess is entering into negotiations with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, meaning that Riverhead artist Don Duga’s classic character Twinkie the Kid may live to lasso many more golden snack cakes. But the news hasn’t stopped people from cleaning the shelves of Hostess’ most popular brands, including Twinkies, Wonder Bread and Ho Hos. Some ambitious sellers were even asking for upwards of $1000 on Craigslist for a slice of cream-filled Americana. Hostess said it would be shutting down all operations last week after it became clear union contract negotiations had reached an impasse. Now Hostess and the union have agreed to talks, which began Tuesday, November 20. New York Post reported that Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn said a contract agreement would have to be made by Wednesday because the company is spending $1 million per day in overhead as it brings operations to a close.
Corps Extends Comment Period on Deepwater Wind Proposal CONCORD, MASS: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has extended the public comment period until Dec. 31 for those who want to submit comments on the Deepeater Wind proposal to construct five wind turbine generators and do other work off the coast of Block Island. The original comment period was scheduled to end Nov. 19. Deepwater Wind Block Island, LLC proposes to construct and maintain the Block Island Wind Farm (BIWF), a 30-megawatt offshore wind farm in Rhode Island waters.

Southampton Field Hockey Team Wins Class C Championship, Falls in Finals
Southampton Mariners Field Hockey Team
SOUTHAMPTON: Mariner Field Hockey added another chapter to its storied success last weekend as the recently crowned Long Island Class C Championship team competed in the 2012 Field Hockey Championships at Cicero–N. Syracuse High School in Cicero. Southampton bested Barker 2–1 in the semi-finals on Saturday before falling 7–0 to Green High School in the finals on Sunday. Last Tuesday, the Southampton High School Field Hockey team bested Friends Academy 2–1 to become the Section XI Class C Champion. This was Southampton’s first appearance at states since 2003. The community gave the team a celebratory send-off on Friday before they left for upstate New York to compete in the Final Four. Congratulations Mariners!
Gobble and Wobble: Thanksgiving Week Turkey Facts THANKSGIVING TABLE: The domestic, farm-raised turkey most Americans eat on Thanksgiving Day is nothing like the wild turkey feasted on by the Pilgrims and Native Americans. Though Thanksgiving Day is now in the rearview mirror, many Hamptonites are now chowing down on Leftover Sandwiches—hopefully with an adequate “moistmaker.” Here are a few facts about the tasty game bird chosen as the main course for the first feast, courtesy of the National Wild Turkey Federation. •Wild turkeys, now almost 7 million strong, were almost extinct in the early 1900s. •Wild turkeys can run up to 25 mph. Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest human, averaged 23.35 mph during his world-record 100 meters. •Wild turkeys were argued by Benjamin Franklin to be a more appropriate choice than bald eagles as our national bird. •Wild turkeys rarely weigh more than 24 pounds, while domestic turkeys regularly grow to more than 40 pounds. •Wild turkeys, which have as many as 6,000 feathers, can fly as fast as 55 mph. Most domestic turkeys are too heavy to fly. •Wild turkeys have much sharper vision than humans and can view their entire surroundings simply by turning their head. •Wild turkeys can make at least 28 different vocalizations, with gobbles heard up to one mile away. •Wild turkeys roost (sleep) in trees, often as high as 50 feet off the ground. Convinced that turkeys are too cool to eat? Head to Danshamptons.com to find out why the Piping Plover is the better choice for a Thanksgiving meal.
HIFF Director Resigns HAMPTONS: The Hamptons International Film Festival announced last Tuesday that after five years on the job, Executive Director Karen Arikian has resigned to pursue new opportunities. “I have been very fortunate to have led this wonderful organization since 2008,” Arikian said, adding, “I leave knowing that the festival is stronger than ever, having just completed its 20th Anniversary edition.” HIFF Board Chairman Stuart Match Suna said Arikian had led the festival through five successful years, and he was grateful for her many contributions that helped make the festival “one of the foremost celebrations of independent film in this country.” Arikian remains the U.S./East Coast Delegate for the Berlin International Film Festival and U.S. Consultant for European Film Promotion.
Bideawee Suffers Damage from Sandy MANHATTAN: Animal and pet welfare organization Bideawee has suffered severe damage in the wake of Hurricane Sandy at its Manhattan location. The Westhampton location’s roof was damaged, and the Wantagh location lost power. To repair all of the damage from Sandy and to return to providing care, compassion and safe haven for pets will take a great deal of funds, and Bideawee is asking for the public’s help via donations at www.bideawee.org. Bideawee in Manhattan has been on the edge of the East River for more than 100 years, and it suffered heavy flooding. The rush of water swamped the isolation units and holding areas and destroyed the elevator used to transport animals to the animal hospital for lifesaving medical care. Due to this damage, Bideawee was closed in Manhattan for over two weeks. All of the animals were evacuated safely to the Wantagh facility, with the Westhampton location also taking in over a dozen cats.

An Italian Idyll Grows in Jamesport
O
ff the beaten path, tucked away on a quiet lane between Main Street and Sound Avenue in Jamesport is the “love child” of Sal and Maryanne Diliberto. When you arrive at the simple farmhouse and cross the threshold to the tasting room, close your eyes. When you open them you will be transported to the middle of a little Italian piazza, complete with Venice waterways, the lilting sound of Italian opera and clay-tiled roofs in the distance. A piano with Christmas sheet music is parked against one wall and the pizza ovens are just outside the window on the covered porch. A Queens attorney specializing in immigration, Sal started making wine in the early 1980s. “I read an article about a guy who sold equipment and I went to meet him. I bought the equipment, then bought my grapes at the Brooklyn Terminal Market,” he says. “They came from California!” But after a number of visits to the North Fork, Sal realized the value of local produce. “I really got to like the area,” he says. “I bought some land with an old barn on it and in 1998 we planted the first acre.” He then purchased the adjoining acreage and farmhouse for his daughter, Dena, a music teacher in the Riverhead schools, and got serious about production. “We had too much for ourselves—I used to give it all away,” he says. “I once went to my brother’s home and he offered me a bottle of my own ’88. I had none

left. That’s when I decided to go professional.” Although his tasting room was not yet a reality, he submitted three wines to the New York Wine and Food Competition under the Diliberto Winery label and received a call from the New York Times wine critic Harold Goldberg. “I’d like to talk to you about your wines,” Goldberg said. Diliberto’s 2005 Merlot was deemed the best in New York State, even though he was not yet selling it. Goldberg told him he needed to get ready because when the Times piece came out, people would want to purchase it. “That Saturday morning,” Sal says, “we were having breakfast and people showed up to buy.” They opened the tasting room in 2007. There are no children allowed, including infants in strollers. “It’s quiet and peaceful, a place to taste wine and listen to music with no distractions,” says Sal, a big supporter of opera. Take a short trip to “Italy” Diliberto hosted an event for the Long Island Opera in August, and there are plans for two opera events next summer. Most Sundays during the winter, the winery offers “Dinner with Grandma,” a cooking demonstration, followed by a simple meal with paired wines, piano music, and more opera. “People come because they know we cater to adults.” There is a small service bar, but a lot of tables. “It’s a different experience,” he says. “The
staff does pourings at the table.” And guests can order a homemade pizza. Sal prepares the dough on Friday to serve on Saturday. “Our signature item is the pizza with fresh sliced tomato, a little mozzarella, parmesan and basil, with a thin crust.” And Maryanne sells jars of her house-made marinara sauce ‘to go.’ As secretary of the Long Island Wine Council, Sal recently traveled to Albany with the group for Governor Cuomo’s Beer and Wine Commission. “We need more people in government supporting this,” he says. “It yields sales tax and creates jobs.” He is now farming five acres and has taken on the management of another four acres of fruit. Diliberto produces about 700 cases a year and Sal likes it that way. “I try to stay below a thousand,” he says. “I do all the winemaking and tractor work,” and all crushing is done on premises. He has one field hand. “We don’t sell anywhere but here. It’s a one-man operation. I like it that way. It’s very controllable. We enjoy having a wine club, and having people come here. If you start getting too big, you start losing control.” Sal and Maryanne Diliberto believe in feeding not just the stomach but the soul. “Abondanza!” says Sal. “La vite bela!” The good life.

Delightful Local Scenes For Your Holiday Cards
W
ith so many people now sending holiday ecards and year-end photo letters, it’s gratifying to find that there’s still a market out there and a desire for traditional, old-fashioned Christmas cards; that the season still causes people to go a little sentimental and want to summon up the memory of seasons past. To invoke the spirit of village life, as urban pressures continue to distance us from nature, our heritage, our neighbors, our more contemplative selves. Holidays seem to make us long for a more tranquil era, even if—maybe especially if—belief in such a time is an illusion. For sure, Richard Barons, Executive Director of the East Hampton Historical Society, is counting on such sentiment in offering two lovely Claus Hoie watercolors as greeting cards this year: “Skating on Town Pond” (2003) and “Mulford Farm and Home Sweet Home” (2002). Both cards bear the message inside “Wishing you all the joys of the holiday season,” with the additional line, “Let it snow!” Well, if it does have to snow, let the snow fall as gently as it does in these pictures of Mulford Farm and Hook Windmill with Home Sweet Home in the foreground, the house’s slanting roof angling over a single window of warming gold light. And let a gold sunset streak across the cold gray winter sky, as it does in “Skating.” And let skaters come to Town Pond, figures of all ages like Hoie’s hockey players, a child being pulled on a sled, folks milling about on
the ice, red jackets here and there, a touch of yellow, an idyllic past frozen in time. Hoie (d. 2007), hardly a stranger to East Hampton, where he lived for many years, was featured in a one-person show last fall, “The Log of the Whaler Helena,” at the East Hampton Town Marine Museum in Amagansett. The paintings which also appeared in an accompanying book of the same name, featured

Claus Hoie’s “Ice Skating Pond”
not only whaling scenes but also calligraphy and text taken from an actual 1843 log. The whaler, however, was fictional, named for Hoie’s wife, Helen. The artist’s award-winning career included honors for graphic design and commercial illustration as well as for his nautical watercolors, which reflected his
life in Norway when he spent time in the Merchant Marine as a steersman and navigator. Later, he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and in New York at the Pratt Institute. “Skating on Town Pond” was part of a 2004 retrospective at Guild Hall. “Claus Hoie Watercolor and Drawings, 1945-2003” that the artist himself, working with curator Christina Strassfield, put together. Preferring always to let his work speak for him, the then 92-year old Hoie was nonetheless once quoted as saying that he loved “to watch the skaters on the town pond when it is frozen and long wanted to paint the colorful scene. East Hampton has a special appeal for me in the winter. The weather becomes more serious. The trees have lost their leaves and seem more like giant sculptures. The colors of the sky at sunrise and sunset become more vivid and the snow and ice take me back to my childhood.” Indeed, some viewers have suggested that the young figure curled up at the edge of the pond in “Skating” may be a nostalgic projection of the artist himself, young, apart, but surveying a scene that he will go on to capture with a sense of the quiet community of his adopted home. The Hoie greeting cards may be purchased at the East Hampton Historical Society, 101 Main Street, or online at www.easthamptonhistory.org, $25 for a box of 12, six of each design. Call 631-324-6850. The cards are being offered through the generosity of the Helen & Claus Hoie Charitable Foundation, proceeds to benefit the education committee of EHHS.

Face Off: Contemporary Portraits at Ross School By marion wolberg weiss
The idea of arts in education was not exactly a “hot” issue during the Presidential campaign. Of course, it hasn’t been for decades. Yet along comes the Ross School and its student exhibits each year, giving us hope that some school administrators “get it.” (Our local public schools do, too.) The current portrait show proves the point, but the catch is that the presentation includes a mixed bag: Ross art faculty, pupils, alums and well-regarded artists who reside here. Moreover, and here’s where “education” makes

Goliath Threw The Fight, and Other Twisted Tales By Joan baum
In the tradition of fractured fairy tales for adults, those hip reworkings of classic stories and fables popularized by Steve Allen some years ago, along comes When Goliath Took A Dive—in time for the holidays—Dan Rattiner’s imaginative, ingenious and amusing take on the genre but with a wit and whimsy all his own. Unlike Allen’s riffs—and far from the cartoon versions updated for kids, many conceived as aids to learning—Goliath cuts a wider and more loony swath across history, ancient and modern, as well as recasting figures and events from the bible and fairytale standards. The subtitle—“History, Legends & Fairytales Re-Thunk”—suggests the tone and intent but hardly the extraordinary range of Rattiner’s playful recreations. Goliath also provides two goodies for the price of one—the 29 stories lead off with clever colorwash illustrations, Dan’s signature minimalist contour lines where less is waggishly more. Here are civilization’s first inhabitants, standing under a tree, “posing for a time-lapse photograph,” a red apple dangling overhead, a snake curling around the trunk of the tree, a jalopy parked nearby: “In July of 1951, Adam and Eve rented a house on the outskirts of Lubbock, Texas.” An apple also figures in a gently satiric way in “Isaac Newton,” one of “the greatest rags to riches stories ever told,” that shows the 17th century mathematical physicist to be a kind of accidental genius who receives a formula from a fairy that allows apples to fall easily from trees, rather
than forcing farm hands to wrestle them off, which in turn leads Newton to become the world’s first applepicking industrial giant. “It is in the history books that Isaac Newton discovered gravity,” the author acknowledges. “Maybe he did and maybe he didn’t”. Newton dies here, by the way, from a coconut falling on his head. The zany convolutions and connections amaze. The irony of Goliath is that although the stories are too sophisticated for children, they do, in effect, have instructive value for adults somewhat fuzzy about their recall of history. What diversity, what an impressive mining of figures, real, quasi, pseudo and faux, among them Hannibal, Lindbergh, Snow White, the Russian mathematician, Lobachevsky (d. 1856), Paul Revere, Cincinnatus, Betsy Ross (a riot), Ben Franklin, Ponce de Leon (who “discovers the fountain of the Midlife Crisis”), Robin Hood, William Bradford (one of the wildest tales with its account of the founding of the Plymouth Colony and its take on the Governor’s death, attributed here to a heart attack when he saw that a zealous admirer secretly affixed a bronze plaque to Plymouth Rock, thus defacing the sacred stone). The irony deepens because Rattiner takes liberties with recorded facts, distorting truths received and apocryphal, in the service of contemporary cultural criticism. Surely the Madoff-like hustling of The Big Bad Wolf, known as B.B., who trips into town as a philanthropist— despite That Reputation!—resonates, which is the serious fun of the best of the tales. Whence the idea for such a book? The stories
came to him, the author says, as “exercises,” somewhat like the Czerny piano lessons he took as a child. He was writing his first memoir, In the Hamptons: My Fifty Years With Farmers, Fishermen, Writers, Artists, Billionaires and Celebrities (2008), and he started experimenting with structure and style. The stories evolve with Lewis Carroll-like logic, words and sentences kept simple, dialogues embracing repetition and vaudevillian double-takes. The title story, Goliath Takes A Dive, most clearly exemplifies the collection’s nutty eccentricity, as the Biblical big guy, here with a high tenor voice and a “lithp,” is seen on video tape, courtesy of a time-travel invention at Brookhaven National Lab, taking a bribe 4,000 years earlier from the chief advisor of the Israelites, and subsequently disappearing, probably into “an Israeli witness protection program.” As readers of Dan’s Papers well know, to appreciate an article often means separating out fact from fiction. Up to a point. The pleasure of the newspaper pieces is their mischievous ambiguity. Anyway, as he worked on the memoir, tales and legends started to mount and lo. Goliath emerged, a “book for grownup children who wanted their minds screwed up.” He feels pretty confidant that after reading these tales, readers will never look at the originals “the same way again.” When Goliath took A Dive can be found at Bookhamptons, Canio’s, Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Though illustrated by the author, art direction and the color washes were provided by Kelly Shelley.

Food For Your Phone: App-etizing Ideas By matthew appel
As you read this, you’re probably sitting home by the fire, fondly reminiscing about your Thanksgiving Day feast. I hope the food was tasty and the drink refreshing. I hope you and your loved ones took a moment to bask in the warm glow of family. Most of all, I hope you had power. All this focus on food got me thinking about food apps for your smart phone. There are so many of them out there, and they come in all shapes and sizes: recipe finders like Epicurious, review apps like Yelp, reservation tools like Open Table and even food games like Sky Burger. I’ve done a lot of app taste-testing over the years, and I came up with three decent ones worth investigating. I use the word “decent” because I’m still waiting to see that perfect food app. Until that day arrives, these should keep you going. Local Eats ($.99) As I said, there are lots of restaurant finders— maybe too many. I don’t like Zagats—it’s expensive and all you really get are boiled down comments and a phone number. Urban Spoon is quite popular. It has a spinning wheel that randomly selects local spots by shaking your phone—kind of like the “I’m
feeling lucky” feature on Google—but in my opinion it’s too gimmicky. Local Eats is an app that strikes the proper balance between information, price and quality. Taken from the Where Locals Eat book series, the app delivers a curated list of the best 100 restaurants in the 50 largest U.S. cities. Simple right? You can search for places around your location, or filter by city, cuisine and name. You might not agree with all of the selections, but there’s no disputing that this app is a great starting point for finding a good meal. At 99 cents, it’s worth the download. Tipulator ($.99) Tipulator is an app that calculates your tip on a dinner bill. I briefly debated whether to recommend it, mainly because of price. There are many free tip calculators that do almost the same thing as this one. In fact, your phone comes with one already built-in. So why buy this app? Ease of use. Tipulator has a really simple interface along with various presets that let you add the tip based on different percentages. Once you enter the total, you simply press the desired percentage and it quickly adjusts the total. It also has a neat feature that helps you subdivide the check depending on number of people in your party. Some folks gripe that the app doesn’t let you
enter the tax, but you’re not supposed to tip on tax, so Tipulator is actually making sure diners don’t inadvertently overtip. Harvest ($1.99) Enter the dark horse. Harvest is yet another simple app (notice a theme here?) that performs a single function very well: choosing produce. Think about it for a second. How many times have you gone to the grocery store and wondered whether those strawberries were ready to eat? They look pretty good, but what are those brown spots along the tips? You get the point. Harvest helps guide you through this process for almost every fruit and vegetable you can imagine—and some you’ve never heard of. You browse a huge alphabetical list of produce, tap your phone, and in a split second you’ve accessed all the key information you need to determine whether that melon or berry is ready to eat. The app also displays information to help you determine pesticide levels of certain veggies, based on things like appearance, location and time of year. At $1.99, it’s not a cheap app. But it will pay for itself in spades just by helping you shop more intelligently. Happy dining!

Winter Insects, Welcome Friends By jeanelle myers
jasleen-kauer/Flickr
Fall is my favorite season for many reasons, but one major one is the insects that are more visible at this time. If the gardener has not used chemical pesticides and has planted a diverse group of plants, there will be many insects in the garden. I find them and their varied life styles and cycles in relation to the garden important and fascinating. The ones below are some of the most interesting to me. A few weeks ago (before Superstorm Sandy), my husband opened the sliding glass door and walked into a spider web covering the entire door. There was a very large spider sitting in the middle of the web and it had a “snack” bundled up on the edge. I found another spider trying to climb up the side of the bathtub.
looking for a secure, cozy spot to spend the winter, which they do as caterpillars. In the warm spring, they lay eggs that hatch in May. These may be seen in the summer, although rarely, perhaps rolled up in dry leaves. The ones we see in the fall are a second hatching from August. Ladybugs are a beloved garden insect, but sometimes they come into the house in the fall. They are looking for a place to hibernate because they, like wooly bears, go through winter in their adult phase. If access to the inside is generous, they may form masses on the wall or in a corner. They can be
removed with care and transferred to the outside. If this happens, it is an indication that there is a leak in the house or window. Wasps are looking for carbohydrates in the fall. They, like bumblebees, need food for the queen who alone will live through the winter. Honeybees are working hard to store enough honey and pollen to feed the colony through the winter. Jeanelle Myers is a professional gardener and consultant. For gardening discussion you can call her at 631-434-5067.
1 Sat. & Sun:
Friend?
There is a common perception that spiders come inside in the fall. This is not the case. House spiders are born, live and die in the house and cannot live outside, it is too cold for them. The ones we see in the fall are males looking for females. The rest of the year they are all hiding in the small places of your house. The ones in the bathtub and the sink are looking for water and a mate. If you take a spider outside and turn it loose thinking to “save” it, it will die in the cold. Outside spiders cannot live in the house. There is not enough food or water for them. They are cold blooded. They, too, are looking to mate in the fall with coy, hiding females. Having mated, the females lay their eggs in small soft balls often found in places like the insides of overturned pots. The babies wait out the winter as eggs or even tiny spiders. Depending on the species, the adults will die in winter or will hibernate in a sheltered spot. Last year I found a praying mantis egg case in a client’s garden. Just to discover one is a real treat. The adult’s camouflage is so good that they are hard to find but this fall, I spotted one in the same area as the egg case. I love to see them in the garden. Their presence indicates a good supply of insects and they will eat any they can catch. These are the females looking for mates. The egg cases they make overwinter attached to twigs in sheltered spots and, if you are present during the hour the babies are hatching, you have been blessed by the garden gods! Wooly bears (a black and yellowish caterpillar of the Isabella tiger moth) seen at this time of year moving with determination, often across a side walk, are said by some to foretell winter weather conditions. The more black on them, the more severe the winter will be. If they are heading north…a severe winter; heading south…a mild winter. If they have thick hairs…a bad winter. Actually, they are

Restaurant Review: Tutto Il Giorno, Sag Harbor
T
utto Il Giorno is right on Bay Street in Sag Harbor. On the other side of Bay Street is its namesake, a whole lotta water. Tutto, miraculously, was not flooded during the recent storms. I felt that I should drink a toast to that happy news. It seemed wrong to turn to a Dark and Stormy for the occasion, so I went with a Mint Lemonato of limoncello, vodka and fresh mint. It’s similar to a Mojito and—topped with fresh lemon and soda—it’s very good and refreshing. Hats off to bartender Fabrice who doubles as house DJ. My husband countered with his standard Gin Martini straight up. He found it well prepared and the three olives that garnished it “much richer than most, meatier.” A promising sign. Tutto Sag Harbor’s menu is quite different from its sister restaurant Tutto Il Giorno in Southampton. But they both include among their offerings a range of vegetarian options. The interior of Tutto Sag Harbor is more dressed up than I expected somehow. Small wonder it’s known as a celebrity hangout. Of course the wideranging wine list is also an attraction as is the FOOD prepared by Chef Jon Albrecht. I’m told it’s quite the late-night scene.

Thanksgiving Leftovers Become Asian Treat For the lucky people who cook Thanksgiving dinner, the remains of the day can prove ASIAN TURKEY FRIED RICE to be inspired creations rather Fried rice is indeed a flexible dish. It can be prepared than holiday leftovers. I know, there is always the ubiquitous with almost any protein and/or vegetable leftovers. turkey sandwich, salad or Day old cooked rice works best for fried rice. Serves 4 soup. But have you made a turkey and rice stir-fry lately? 3 tablespoons peanut or canola oil It’s important to note that turkey, or chicken for that matter, should be removed from carcass and bones as soon as possible before storing in the refrigerator. Carve off all the meat and refrigerate as promptly as possible in a suitable container for a day or two. The less air that gets into any container or wrapping, the longer the meat will stay fresh. And don’t throw the carcass and bones away. Cover with water and a carrot, a rib of celery or two and some parsley sprigs that are probably sitting in your refrigerator vegetable drawer, along with an onion, a couple of cloves, peppercorns and a bay leaf or two and you have the beginning of a fine broth to use in a soup or stew. For an Asian twist, fried rice is a tasty way to incorporate your leftover turkey with pre-cooked rice, some chopped garlic and ginger and any leftover vegetables you may have lying around such as cooked carrots and broccoli. Add some water chestnuts, a generous splash of soy sauce and a dash of dark sesame oil and you’ve created a Turkey stock is a no-brainer!
2 eggs, beaten 1 bunch scallions, light and green parts, thinly sliced 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger 3 to 4 cups cold cooked long grain or basmati rice 1 cup cooked sliced carrots 1/2 cup julienne of snow peas 1/2 cup coarsely chopped water chestnuts 2 cups cooked diced turkey 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt 4 tablespoons light soy sauce 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil Note: Place all the ingredients on a prep tray or platter arranged side by side. This classic Chinese technique will allow for swift cooking. 1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium-size wok or large non-stick skillet. Stir fry eggs in the oil cutting them coarsely with the side of a large slotted spoon until curds form; remove from pan and set aside.

tasty way to clean out the fridge. In keeping with the theme, spinach salad with soy and sesame seeds will add color and crunch to your Asian stir-fry. How thankful we are—even for turkey day excesses!
By silvia lehrer
2. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same pan the eggs cooked in and add scallions, garlic and ginger. Stir-fry about 2 to 3 minutes until vegetables are a bit limp then add the rice breaking up the lumps. Add carrots, snow peas, water chestnuts, diced turkey and salt to taste; cook over medium heat, turning and mixing with 2 large spoons until contents are well mixed and heated through. Add soy sauce and stir to coat the grains of rice. If at any time the mixture sticks to the pan, tilt pan and add a bit more

SPINACH SALAD WITH SOY AND SESAME SEEDS This standard dish is typical in homes and restaurants throughout Japan. Serves 4 1 1/2 pounds fresh spinach, stemmed and washed well 3 tablespoons white sesame seeds 2 teaspoons superfine sugar 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Japanese soy if possible) 11/2 teaspoons lemon juice 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and blanch spinach for 1 minute. Drain and refresh leaves under cold running water. Squeeze excess moisture from the leaves and chop coarsely. 2. In a small skillet, toast sesame seeds over medium-high heat, shaking pan until the seeds begin to pop, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer seeds to a bowl (or a mortar and pestle, if available) while still warm and crush with the back of a spoon as well as possible. Add the sugar and continue to grind until mixture is a little pasty. Add the soy sauce and lemon juice and blend well. Toss the chopped spinach in the dressing, refrigerate for a couple of hours and serve slightly chilled. Recipe adapted from Elizabeth Andoh’s At Home with Japanese Cooking, Knopf.

Beautiful homes sold this week.
Bargains on the East End.
Junk or Treasure, Sometimes It Must Go! By robert ottone
W
e put our all into our homes and sometimes, when we rent or prepare a home for sale, it all has to come out. 1-800-Got-Junk, a company founded in 1989 by Brian Scudamore in Vancouver, Canada, was featured on a recent episode of the television show Hoarders shot in Greenport. Got Junk specializes in this sort of thing; a client, overwhelmed by their accumulated items, seeks out the company in an effort to rid themselves of the clutter. Call a local Got Junk operator, set a time, and they come to haul away whatever you wish. Speaking to local owner Ken Olsen, I was able to learn a bit more about 1-800-Got-Junk. The Hoarders situation in Greenport was a bit more interesting than the standard Hoarders scenario. The “hoarder” was actually a collector, as opposed to the usual accumulator of newspapers, trash and garbage often seen on the show. Many of her antiques, according to Olsen, went to auction and the entire shoot required three days of moving materials out of her home, filling nine trucks. Olsen says that the Greenport client “was very pleased” with the outcome of 1-800-Got-Junk’s removal of her antiques, as well as the overall experience of taking part in the Hoarders program. Often, it’s difficult to face one’s own collections and accumulated goods from over the years. People typically associate their stuff with certain times in their lives that
they just don’t want to let go of. Eventually, the accumulation begins to overwhelm people’s homes. That’s when a company like 1-800-Got-Junk steps in. Olsen could tell some interesting stories about his experiences with 1-800-Got-Junk. For example, one of his drivers (who moonlights as an EMT) was making a routine stop to give a client a quote when he noticed something was a tad off about the man. Acting quickly, the driver began administering tests and determined that the man had, in fact, suffered a stroke. Quick action (and a quick phone call to Olsen to get the go-ahead to test the client) saved the day and maybe a life. One of the sweetest stories Olsen told me was that of an elderly woman who wanted to get her house ready for sale by clearing out some of her clutter. The woman’s husband had passed away not long before. Her husband had always been a very stern, old-school kind of person. Not very emotional, not the kind of guy who would ever be thought of as sentimental. It turns out that during World War II, the woman selling the house had sent her husband letters every week. He never wrote back. Then, during the process of removing the clutter from the woman’s home, a box was discovered that the woman had never seen before. Upon opening it they found every single one the letters. The woman was so touched by this discovery, she burst into tears, never realizing how much her letters had meant to her husband. Further west, 1-800-Got-Junk was also featured
on the news for finding a woman’s wedding rings she thought she had thrown out during a routine cleaning of her home. Olsen handled the matter personally, going through bags and bags of material until finally stumbling across a ceramic box in the shape of 1-800-Got-Junk supports Movember a cat’s head. Opening the box (after hours of digging through the woman’s stuff), he discovered the rings. News 12 covered the story last year and quoted the woman as saying “those rings symbolize my whole life.” 1-800-Got-Junk is currently involved in Hurricane Sandy relief efforts here on Long Island. “It’s nice to see New Yorkers opening their hearts to those in need,” Olsen said. The company is collecting goods and distributing them to those who are still affected by the hurricane and its aftermath. The company also collects and distributes food items for families in need during the holidays. For the latest danshamptons.com
